Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they can win the Europa League.

The Reds meet Augsburg in Germany tonight.

Klopp believes his side are genuine contenders in Europe and admits it may be their best route back into the Champions League.

He explained: "A few teams in the world can think about winning the Europa League and I think we are one of these teams.

"We don't have to say 'We have no chance' but if you look at the teams in the competition now it is like a little Champions League."

Liverpool are eighth in the Premier League, nine points shy of Manchester City in the top four.
